Description

Much loved Yorkshire folk duo Belinda O'Hooley and Heidi Tidow have suddenly been propelled into newfound fame for penning the theme tune for Sally Wainwright's hit BBC1/HBO drama 'Gentleman Jack', earning them global admiration, appearances on TV, Radio 4 Woman's Hour and concerts that sell out months in advance.

This special candlelit concert is at the beautiful Holy Trinity Church where Anne Lister and Ann Walker took the sacrament together in 1834. Bring rugs and cosy up for an enchanting evening.

Belinda and Heidi's boundless songwriting has been described by The Guardian as 'exceptional' and The Independent as 'defiant, robust, northern, poetical, political folk music for the times we live in.' From an emotionally charged song about an elephant orphanage in Nairobi, to a joyous celebration of the Leeds cycling champion Beryl Burton, they explore, consider and connect subjects and stories in a distinctive, inventive and memorable way.
Having the originality and skill to invite comparison with the most celebrated harmony duos, from early Simon and Garfunkel to the iconic Kate and Anna McGarrigle, 6 Music's Tom Robinson says 'They sing together in the way families do. Normally, you only get that closeness in the voices with family bands like The Coppers or The Watersons.'

'I have just listened to your track, 'Beryl', with tears in my eyes! It's beautiful and brilliant.' Maxine Peake
